Cucumber Salad with Grated Coconut

This recipe is one among which i learned from my neighbour..when we were in bangalore. she just made this in minutes..were i kept gazing at her surprisingly..how she could chop the vegetables so fast.(since iam very slow in it).

Ingredients:

1. Cucumber-1(peeled and chopped into small slices)
2.Red Onion-1(chopped very finely)
3.Green chilli-1(chopped finely)
4.Cilanto/Corriander leaves-fistfull(chopped finely)
5.Grated Coconut- 4 spoons
6.Lemon Juice-as you require
7.Salt-as per your taste

Method:
Mix the above all ingredients in the level of order i have mentioned. add lemon juice and salt just before serving. You can also have this as a side-dish for sambhar rice.


In front of our school..some ladies will be selling cucumber with chilli powder and salt. It would taste so good..No five star hotel salad's could get near them.
